MrsWright2018 0 Report post Posted August 14 Today I had a slight image episode , it cause very much discomfort like always, scares me when I go through these episodes. It will either be an image scenario, auditory or both. Always focuses on me losing my husband 😠this anxiety is destroying me , like it's trying to take away my happiness. Everytime I have my good days it tries to drag me back down. I love my husband more then anything in the world , hes what I live for everyday day of my life and I couldn't imagine my life with out him. I've been trying to get control of it by doing deep breathing and no it's not real. Any helpful ideas to help me get regain control again and accept my anxiety more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please keep talking to us here! We care!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrsWright2018 0 Report post Posted August 19 I take Gabapentin, it definitely helps relax me but my husband thinks we should try a different medication cause it doesnt seem to help enough but he says I'm starting to cope with managing it better then before, which is a plus:) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it's helping somewhat make a difference than that's a huge start. Deffo being in regular therapy is gong to be a big thing too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrsWright2018 0 Report post Posted August 20 It's a nightmare when suffering from both anxiety and PTSD but I would say PTSD is the worst and can be the scariest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
